The principalization sequence is an isomorphism over X ∖ (cosupp I ∪ Sing E) #
Clause (3) of [Kol07, Theorem 35] in a corrected form: the principalization Π : X_r → X of
(X, I, E) is an isomorphism over X ∖ (cosupp I ∪ Sing E), where Sing E is the locus where
two or more components of E meet. Kollár's text says "an isomorphism over X ∖ cosupp I", which
overlooks the disjoining blow-ups of [Kol07, 72], whose centers are the loci where several
components of E meet; the clause proved here adds Sing E to the excluded set. The proof reads
the definition BP T = (disjoinSeq T.E ⧺ BMO_1(X', π^* I, 1, ∑ E^i)) with its empty blow-ups
deleted, and shows that every center of both halves avoids the preimage of
U := X ∖ (cosupp I ∪ Sing E):
- the disjoining centers lie over
Sing E(support_center_disjoinSeq_le; "the subset wherekof the components intersect", [Kol07, 72]); - the
BMO_1centers lie in the cosupport of the marked ideal(π^* I, 1)at their stage (condition (4′) of [Kol07, Definition 66]), and overUthe order ofπ^* Iis0(ord_eq_zero_iff,support_comap): this iscenter_disjoint_of_isOrderGeSeq_of_ltatm = 1, from the fieldisOrderGeSeqof the functor;
so isIso_composite_restrict_of_centers_disjoint applies to both halves, the composite of the
concatenation is the composite of the two after the identification of the last stages
(composite_concat), restrictions of composites are composites of restrictions
(morphismRestrict_comp), and deleting the empty blow-ups does not change the isomorphism locus
(isIso_eraseEmpty_composite_restrict).
Clause (3) of [Kol07, Theorem 35], with Sing E added to the excluded locus: BP T is an
isomorphism over X ∖ (cosupp I ∪ Sing E). The disjoining centers lie over Sing E, the BMO_1
centers lie in the cosupport of π^* I.
